Hello Jfp87,

I appreciate your reply.

Yes I did try that, but sometimes the paragraph may contain more than one number followed by a right parentheses and this option affects each case.
For example:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
1) The quick brown fox jumps 2) the low brown fox flops.
3) The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 4) the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I only want a tab inserted after the first parentheses at the start of each paragraph and not each case after that, hence finding the end paragraph mark of the previous paragraph.

I also had another question as to whether a specific sized hanging indent and tab stop could be incorporated into the macro that was independent of the left indent setting.
For example the left indent could be 1.0cm or 1.5cm or whatever, but the hanging and tab would always be say 1.0cm from whatever the size the left indent may be set to.

Regards,
Dave T
